RANK UP questions and answers

[Syrus]

Hello everyone,
I've seen a lot of questions happening what does Lifetime in deployment means.


It means that you need to achieve all of that in one deployment, it's not cumulative.

Feel free to ask questions and i will include them in this post.

A suggestion rather than a question; I think It would be nice to have non-combat rank challenges for those who prefer in support role(E.g. Heal or debuff for X amount).

My rank is stuck I can no longer rank up even though I fulfilled at the requirements. Possibly a bug?

I believe you're 21k XP short, and its just the UI that should say 329k/350k.

does this mean inflicting damage upon enemies with environmental explosions (barrels, cannisters, pipe networks, cars, etc)

OR

just exploding them and hitting nothing?

Also : so when i hover over that requirement is says 8285/10k in red
is that the highest amount ive done in a deployment? It would be nice to also see what your current value is at in mission, in brackets or something

its damaging monsters with barrels, cars, pipes... etc.

You guys totally mix achievements and rank up. Rank up should only be xp based not achievement based. Once the already small player based dies down to to so many issues with progression it will be impossible to rank up at all.

What's considered a high value target? Any indicators?

Thanks, profile is only XP based and that gives you raw power. Ranks are more for a showoff :)

The most easy way is plant a proxy mine on an exposed pipe system than put a road flare (which can last 3 mins) inside its AOE to attract monsters. Monster will trigger the mine which trigger the explosion of whole pipeline which kill all the monsters attracted by that road flare.

Will ranks get any non-cosmetic bonus one day?

Even if it's +1% to smth for some milestones in ranks, i think it will be nice and motivate people more to play more and rank up higher.

If it's be something more interesting than +1%, no idea, an immortal companion dog or alien dog just cosmetic or doing some small damage, or whatever for the General e.g, it will also be funny then.

Does the recon drone count towards looting lockers? I can never tell since my counter is frozen.

Fun fact, on the W3 mods that inspired this game, ranks gave you bonuses and "maluses". Like ranks gave +2 flat dmg, and -5hp (from memory, but it comes back to 205 or so..). While I could agreed maluses is not "cool" per se, giving only bonuses, regarding how many people just fish for rank while being only half decent at the game we will find, would definitely be just a m"eh" thing. The "old" system was be a nice tradeoff ;).

Don't think that's a good idea. Some of them can already be annoying enough without locking gameplay features behind them.

They already have. Suit-colours are based on your rank.

No that's actually the complete opposite of what they are asking.
